Haynes Manuals

**sxrsil3nt** · 07-08-2010

Would anyone recommend these manuals to a complete newbie?

I'm only 18 and my 04 GT2 is my first car which I wanna keep for a long time, I absolutely love this car.

I took auto mechanics in high school, but those classes only teach basic crap like oil changes and tire balancing (lame). My neighbour is a mechanic so he's always there to help me, real nice guy, but I want to learn more about my car in general, so I was wondering if you guys would recommend a Haynes Manual for a COMPLETE NEWB WHEN IT COMES TO CARS!

I'm very interested in vehicles, always have been since I was a kid.

Thanks guys.

I would recommend it. They are great manuals and have alot of information in them.

Take what they have to say with a grain of salt though..they can be a little inaccurate sometimes. They are good to have around though

Haynes manuals are garbage the only thing they are good for is specs and torque specs on some things.

I'd check on ebay for 2004 Grand Prix Service Manual. Either go with the paper or a DVD on it. That way you can get the actual GM FSM. Hands down there's no comparision, including all data
